Danny Welbeck looks set to miss several months of the season after suffering a serious ankle injury in Arsenal’s Europa League draw with Sporting Lisbon.
The Gunners are 8/1 with bet365 to win this season’s Europa League after qualifying for the knockout stages on Thursday night courtesy of their goalless draw with the Portuguese outfit.
However, the game was overshadowed by England international Welbeck leaving the field at the Emirates Stadium on a stretcher during the first half with what boss Unai Emery described as a bad injury.
“It's clear that we're with him in these minutes. He's a very good person and his commitment with us is very big,” said Emery.
"It's a very big injury for him, for us, for all people who like and love him as a person."
